"The Roanoke Leader" :
Roanoke, Randolph Co., Alabama

NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, March 9, 1927

OLD BOOK AND PAPER BROUGHT TO LEADER OFFICE

Last Friday, Mr. J.W. Harry of Glenn, Georgia brought to the Leader office a 
copy of a very old book and newspaper. The book was a New Testament printed 
in 1848 and the inscription on the fly leaf showed that it was presented by 
Calvin Coats to his wife on Nov. 22, 1851. The text was in large type and 
finished in leather binding. 

The newspaper was Number 13 of Volume 6 of the Universalist Herald published in 
Notasulga, Ala., on April 2, 1852. It was a four page paper. The name of John 
C. Burrus appeared as editor. The paper was yellow with age but on the margin 
at the top of the first page the name "H.T. Noland" was written in ink, and was 
as clear as when it was penned. 

These old relics belong to Mrs. J.J. Harry of Glenn, Georgia and we 
appreciate her thoughtfulness in sending them to us.

Additional Comments:
Could this be the Calvin Coats who owned the New Testament?
